Tampa Criminal Appeals Lawyer

Trust a Firm that Has Your Best Interest in Mind

When there have been procedural errors, misconduct or serious errors related
to points of law, these must be fully exposed in the appeal, with all
supporting case law. Many attorneys are not willing to do the research
and will avoid the appeals process.

Our Tampa criminal appeals attorney has outstanding resources to research
and represent criminal appeal cases. Righting a wrongful conviction is
an important matter, and we are proud to represent our clients in the
appeals process and in ensuring that our legal system functions fairly,
and those who make errors, or commit legal malpractice by failing to correctly
and energetically defend clients.

Are You Eligible to Appeal Your Conviction?

An appeal is a judicial proceeding. Simply put, when an unfavorable decision
is made by a judge or jury, the defendant has the right to make an appeal.
An appeal asks the court to re-evaluate their case. Under the U.S. Constitution,
individuals have the right to appeal decisions made by judges and juries.
If you have been found guilty of a crime, you have the right to appeal
your case in court.

During an appeal, the evidence surrounding a given case will not be re-evaluated.
Instead, the decision making process that led the judge or jury to decide
against you will be measured to make sure that it was fair. In order to
file an appeal, you must be aggrieved. Aggrieved refers to any situation
in which a decision has been made against you that affects you legal rights.

How a Criminal Appeals Attorney from Taracks & Associates Can Help

When the criminal justice system doesn't function properly, innocent individuals
can be convicted of a crime that they had no responsibility in committing.
Such cases demand that an appeal be filed to right the wrong that has
taken place. Many attorneys are not willing to take the time and effort
to handle an appeal, as it takes extensive research and a careful and
complete drafting of the case outlining every error and failure to follow
the restrictions of the law to successfully get an appeal.
Our legal team is very qualified in the appeals process and can assist clients who have
suffered wrongful conviction or have been penalized unfairly by the court.

The drafting of an appeal is a difficult process. Every aspect of the court
trial must be scrutinized and exposed as it relates to violating the rights
of the client. In some cases it has been discovered that
crucial defense evidence was wrongfully suppressed, or even worse, the evidence was hidden
from the appeals lawyer. Other cases have proven jury misconduct, or the
judge unfairly ruling that evidence cannot be brought to court that could
have exonerated our client. No matter what the circumstances are of your
case, we can address the matter professionally and with the necessary
skill and research to file a compelling case for the appeal, seeking to
overturn a wrongful conviction.
